Just compensation to the victim has to be fixed having regard to medical and other expenses, pain and suffering, loss of earning and other relevant factors.
Cr.P.C. S.357 & 357A: At times, evidence is not available in this regard. Some guess work in such a situation is inevitable. While punishment to accused is one aspect, determination of just compensation to the victim is the other. Compensation under S.357, Cr.P.C. is payable by convict. Section 357A, Cr.P.C. has to be invoked to make up the requirement of just compensation.-Monohar Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan, AIR 2015 SC 1124
